MSQ - Light of Inspiration: Can't turn quest in

[linay]

you need to finish a lvl 80 quest to be able to continue a lvl 79 MSQ.

That is correct.

Yes, exactly. Which is why I said it's silly that it isn't a level 80 MSQ quest - it should be, because you need to finish the level 80 role quest to finish that MSQ quest.

Here, here's another thread on this pointing out how silly it is: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...on#post5054041

Which means:
- I'm locked out of the MSQ until lvl 80
- I have to grind to lvl 80 to be able to continue the lvl 79 MSQ

How does something so obviously wrong not raise eyebrows during QA?

The best part is the response to my in-game ticket: the usual copy&paste answer which doesn't even fit my case.

The next quest is level 80, so it's not like there's a huge gap between where you would have been locked out. It is silly, no doubt, but saying you are locked out of the MSQ until 80 doesn't change regardless of when you hit that marker.

The way they formatted things is really bizarre, especially since the exp you would have received from that MSQ falls into the void as you are ultimately required to be level 80 to complete it (and honestly that exp would have been really nice to have because I was literally on the brink of hitting 80 at that point). They should have had it where you're able to complete the quest right then and there, but to start the following quest you need to be level 80/have completed a role quest.

Yeah it's dumb. I hit this last night and realized I needed to grind 20m exp to continue the main story.

Like.. I was expecting to get level walled at some point coming up, but it never occurred to me I'd be able to accept a quest I couldn't complete without gaining another level.

That being said, it's the last level 79 quest. So you're going to miss out on 800k exp, but not any more than that.
